One of our sober industrious business men
recently became an example of extreme absent
mindedness. Coming down Ia his store III
his carriage after dinner, he used his team
several times during the afternoon and finally
hltched it at the rear of his store. When he
got ready to 60 to tea he walked out his front
store door with his usual soberness apparent
" and passed up the streets to his residence.
After tea his brother asked him whether he
had fed his horse and it suddenly dawned up
on him that his poor horse was still standing
In the rear of his store. II is needless to say
that he wendell his way back for the poor
cold supperless equine and did all in his
power TO compensate the beast for the neglect
his is the story in the mildest form it can be
put and We have endeavored TO present IT in
It's best phase.

Pentecost read from Hebrews, 2nd chapter,
and spoke on the subject of salvation as there
introduced. First, consider its greatness.
Gods works, viewed either through the mi
croscopc or telescope, are great, but Gods
works IN salvation through jesus Christ, are
prc-eminently great. Great in the source
from which it emanates, great in the basis
upon which it rests and the forces employed
The flaming worlds are the work of his fin
gers, but to save men the psalmist calls upon
God to bare his arm and stir up his strength
There is not enough in all the prizes of the
world to tempt one to forego what is involved
in one of the limitations of God concerning
what is provided for Them that seek him.
The close of the sermon portrayed the loss
of spiritual apprehension and the condemna-
ton of God that follows neglect of Him. A
very beautiful and appropriate piece entitled
The Three Calls, was sung in an impressive
manner by Mr. and Mrs. Stebbins.
The public service was followed by a

The company consists of 46 mem

said to be told with fidelity to ma

above the pedestal which he has
heretofore occupied as an author,
and his personation of the character

On n Visit.

Harry and Mrs. De Alma arrived
in Carson Sunday morning on a
visit to their many friends. Harry
was favofite of all while here in
Carson. Part of the time he was a
compositor on the APPEAL. He was
one of the best printers in this
State and his services were always
IN demand both here and in Vir-
GINA City. He left for San Fran
cisco about a year ago, and while
there was at times in the employ of
the Central Pacific Railroad ard
several of the daily papers of that
city. Mrs. De Alma is the daush-
ter of Tip Clarke, and is therefore
also we'll known in Carson. The
young couple will remain here
about Il month.

Strength OF a Root.

t IS only a few years ago that the
trees in font of M. Cohn's dry
goods store were planted. Right
under them and about three feet
below the ground lies the pipe
which was laid by Ed. Sweeny by
which he formerly supplied Main
street with water. Alongside one
OF the trees water was found oozing
out of the ground last Saturday.
and on investigation yesterday it
was discovered that one of the
roots of the tree had grown under
and strained the pipe to such an
extent as to burst it. A plug has
been put in the pipe at this point
and from the break northwards it
will be abandoned.

The River and City Water
supply.


Ex-Sheriff Swift has returned
from an extended trip along the
Carson river, which was
made in the interest of the mills
which had to close down on account
of the scarcity of water. Some
time ago the millmen agreed to al
low the farmers along the river to
use as much water as they pleased
for irrigation purposes at certain
seasons in the year, but this sum
mer the volume of water has been
80 small that the diversion of it by
the farmers has prevented the mills
from running. Mr.. Swift thus re-
p esented the matter to all the far
mers and all have agreed to break
down their dams and allow the water
to remain in the river after Septem
Der 5, which will enable the mills
to start up work again. This will
be good news to the hundreds of
men who have been out of EN- plov-
m mt since the mills shut down.
1t is also reported that the volume
of water in the headwaters of the
river IS increasing.
In this come ,tion it NAV also
be stated that the supply OF water
for the use OF the city is increas-
ing, which VIII soon allow irrigation
to b. carried on as often as the peo-
pie WISH.

The Run TO bowers.

In answer to call tor a run to
Bowers Mansion only three mem
bers turned out Sunday morning TO
make the trip. 1t was expected
that nearly all the members of the
club would participate. but so many
people represented most of
the road as being impossible to
bicycles that the boys lost heart and
only Homer Thaxter, Charley Pet
ers and Bob Davis mustered up
enough grit to attempt the run.
They left about half past seven in
the morning and made the Mansion
in about three hours, but the return
trip was made in about two hours.
Of course considerable sand was
encountered on the way, which
made walking on foot much more
enjoyable than riding the machines.
The boys enjoyed the trip very
much and are lavish in their praise
of the Treatment they received at
the mansion by the Misses Read.

Another run will be made to the

Base Hall Game.

An interesting practice game @
base ball between the Amateurs an,
Zephyrs took place Sunday. III,
ranks of the Amateurs was strength
ened by Harry De Alma, who play
ed with his usual skill at first base
AID. Ellis acted as pitcher. 1t is
the opinion of all that he makes q
splendid left-handed pitcher, but at
present throws too wild. The
Zephyrs are credited with playing a
better game Sunday than they ever
have before.
The first three innings were white
washes for both sides. In the
fourth inning the Amateurs, by
good batting and wild throws on
the part of the Zephyrs, made nine
runs. In ihe remaining five innings
they made five runs against nine
for the Zephyrs-the score being
fourteen for the Amateurs and nine
for the Zephyrs.
To encourage the young men in
their efforts to perfect their playing
a number of our citizens will put
up a purse of $50 next Sunday,
to be commended for by the Zephyrs
and Amateurs.
About next October a nine made
up of members of different crack
Eastern clubs will pay California a
visit and exhibit their skill in the
National game. The same parties
who will put up this purse are en-
deavoring to have the nine visit
Carson. If they can get them to
come here picked nine will be
made up from the Resolutes, Anna
tours and Esmeraldas to meet them
and have a game. 1t would be an
excellent thing if this could be |
done.

Lucky lack EIltor.

| While on q visit to Santa Rosa
California, last Winter for the bene-
fit of his health, Jack Elliot, the
well-known foreman of the Virgins
& Truckee Flume Yards, was shown
a piece of land adjoining that town,
consisting of about So acres, which
seemed to him to be q desirable
purchase. He was then in not very
good health and thought that if he
could buy it at q reasonable price
he would do SO and settle up his
matters in Carson and live on the
property for the rest of his days.
He bought it for $l2 500. He re-
turned here and shortly after he pur-
chased the land he was offered
much larger sum for it than he
paid. Since then he has received
repeated offers and at increased fig
ures bat rightly concluded to hold
on to it. Yesterday morning, how
ever, he was offered $50 900 for the
property and telegraphed back his
assent. This is clear profit of
$50 500 to Mr.. Elliot on So acres
in less than a year.
The APPEAL is informed that
George Richard, Deputy State
Treasurer, purchased AZ acres of
land near Petaluma about the same
time that Elliot bought his land.
He has also received many offers
for it at very much advanced figures,
but he will hold on to it for a while
longer. OF course it will contin-
uaily increase in value and make
the owner a rich man some day.
There is a real estate boom every
where in California, SO much so,
indeed, says an APPEAL correspond
mt, that with everybody real es-
ate speculation is the all-engrossing
'opic OF the day. There's more
money in it than running a news
